What is the C180? Sounds like a C-class but pictures would help?

The mercedes is more for relax. The suspension is softer. It's less sporty, more luxory. From the ones I've owned, the give many mechanic problems. Things break a lot. Looks good for status. Slow and notchy gearbox (it's part of mercedes DNA).

The BMW is the perfect marriage between luxory and sport. The suspension is great. The controls (steering, gearbox, pedal) feel much better and much more alive. I like the looks more. They don't break so much.

My vote goes for the BMW.

C class is built a bit cheaply.
